Land of Nod floor pillows

A few months ago I made these Land of Nod inspired floor pillows, following the tutorial from House of Punks.  It was the first "big" project that I sewed.  My kids have Pottery Barn Everywhere Chairs, but they have taken a beating.  My daughter doesn't sit in hers any more, she lays on it.  So when I found the home decor fabric on sale from JoAnn's I bought it and went for it.  Then later in the week, I had a terrible sore throat, souldn't talk, so I stayed home form work and made these.

Here's how they turned out.

I do wish I would have used the pink piping for the girls one, the green doesn't stand out enough.  And I stuffed hers a bit too much- it is more rounded.  The kids mostly use them for hitting each other with.  But my Mom was impressed! (she is a pro at sewing!)  These little cushions cost about $15 per, since I got the fabric half off.

I do want to get them some bean bags for Christmas, although my DH is worried that the cats will pee on them.  But I would LOVE to make them these from MADE.  LOVE them.  But, it is just too much $$ that I want to spend, even though I know it will look awsome.  If I can get the fabric on sale, I think it will cost at least $50 per bag.  I know that is going to be half the price you can get them at pottery barn, etc.  But I think I will just get them the $20 ones from Target for Christmas.  Maybe I will make ME one!
